4. ROUND and Its Relatives

Lesson 4 of 25
Task 1 of 3
  1. In D2:D6, round the discounted price to whole dollars.

Lesson theory
  • =ROUND(number, digits) rounds by the usual math rule (0.5 rounds up);
  • =ROUNDUP(…) and =ROUNDDOWN(…) always round up or down;
  • =MROUND(number, multiple) rounds to the nearest multiple: to 5, to 50, to 5 minutes.

The number of digits can be negative: =ROUND(12345,-2) gives 12,300, which is rounding to hundreds.

Important: a number format such as "0.00" only shows fewer decimals, while ROUND changes the value itself. For money in calculations, use ROUND.
